@williamdavisFair enough -- you don't want pre-emptive to be a part of our foreign policy lexicon. Just don't be surprised if we get attacked again. Don't be surprised when the oil faucet gets turned off by unelected dictators.If you wait for threats to materialize, then you are too late. Case in point: Nazi Germany. Ten years of appeasement cost us half a million soldiers.And besides, if your neighbor makes threatening or hostile statements, you have every right under common law to take action by filing a criminal complaint. The only problem is that there are no world police to fairly enforce justice.

Gah. Digg sucks. Ate my edit."Would Ron Paul say it's a state issue and not a federal issue if slavery were around today?"I can't speak for him - you'd have to ask him, don't rely on people telling you what he believes, unless he's actually said so. But I suppose it would depend whether he believes the constitution explicitly outlaws slavery (see Lysander Spooner's argument, for example; e.g., here: <a class="user" href="http://medicolegal.tripod.com/spooneruos.htm&quot;&gt;http://medicolegal.tripod.com/spooneruos.htm&lt;/a&gt; [this space inserted to pacify Digg]). If not, then it's not a federal issue. But don't misinterpret that mean that the states have a right to slavery if they want it - "states rights", etc., really only means "not related to a power of the federal government", not that states actually have any rights over the issue. I really doubt that Ron Paul thinks the states should have much power at all.

Way to go George!!! The only thing better than the X-Files is Coast to Coast AM, and that's only because Coast to Coast proves a lot of what the X-Files fictionally portrayed: Government Conspiracy!!!Coast to Coast is the only media outlet that is willing to have in-depth interviews with every conceivable opinionated person out there. Sometimes they're totally off-the-wall, sometimes they manage to prove things so bizarre that you have no choice but to really reconsider everything we have been taught. But, no matter what, every single person is allowed to truly get their point across, and that is refreshing.Too bad it airs so late; I think we should contact the aliens and have them co-opt the signal and take over all the media airways so that it is Coast to Coast 24/7 so that America will finally WAKE UP!!!BTW: that was a joke for all you drones who probably think that I wear an aluminum colander on my head ;)

I'm a looong time listener of Coast to Coast and a very long time ago.. maybe 10 years ago the show didn't have the sci-fi format. They would discuss politics every now and again and .. I'll have you know Art is a Libertarian, or at least very libertarian leaning.
